The SD card on my Echo Mini was full. I didn’t like the idea of navigating even more music on one device, so instead of a bigger SD card I just got another device.
This device isn’t perfect, but I can’t think of better alternative for my tastes except maybe an iPod. But those are crazy money to get upgraded to today’s standards (larger storage, lossless support, etc).
A new device, the Snowsky Echo (not mini) has been announced and also looks gorgeous. But I like the idea of having a few identical devices. I might get a third for meditations, audiobooks (despite the lack of chapter support) and ASMR.


Thank you very much for that. I was able to do a bit more reading with that context. My headphone cable is on 1 meter long so I’m unlikely to notice an improvement in quality, especially at the low volume I listen at. But if I ever set up a stationary sound system at home I’ll get good headphones for running whatever distance I need.
